 Dating or getting married is a huge commitment, that you can not get into only for the sake of it.

Spare us the crap of saying 'age is catching up with me'. 

There is no right age to start dating or to get married. 

Hey ladies; don't be in a hurry to put a ring on that finger just because of your age.  When the right time comes, you will have your ring, no matter how old you are or whether you do house chores or not. 

Look at an example of 67-year old Oprah Winfrey who has been dating her fiancee' Stedman Graham for years without legalizing it with a marriage certificate. 

Do not succumb to the pressure of your parents and aunts back at home asking 'utatuletea wajukuu lini?"

Dating should have a purpose, not just a trial and error journey between two people. You should have goals, both long-term and short term. Therefore, do not jump onto this train just because of the age factor. 

Also, when you are not disturbed by the age factor, you will have a chance to fall for a person who rhymes with your vibe and fits your ideal. 

People are not perfect, but there are major factors to look into before falling for the next man who proposes to you. 

Other than this, dating or getting married is also a money affair. 

Financial expenses are involved here, therefore, be in a good position to sustain a home or responsibilities that come with dating. 

The big question about dating and getting married is; are you mentally ready for it. 

You should get into a relationship when you have wiped away all your tears from a previous one. 

Marriage is a big thing, that requires adequate mental preparedness. This is because you submit part of yourself to another person. 

Also, clearly identify the mistakes of the past and how to deal with them.
